Invitation to Jersey 1978 - Part 2

Invitation to Jersey 1978. Its amazing how many of these hotels have gone.














OPEN THROUGHOUT THE YEAR

One of the most modern hotels in Jersey. The Beaufort has been built and designed to offer its guests every possible amenity and comfort. Situated within easy reach of the town centre and beach. 













This is now a care home.

Brochure text:

The Silver Springs Hotel is set in seven acres of superb gardens, within five minutes of Jersey’s famous St. Brelade's Bay.

The whole hotel is modern in both design and concept with excellent lounges overlooking Jersey's beautiful countryside, spacious restaurant looking over a wooded valley, bedrooms with private bathrooms and balconies and large play areas for families with children.

A courteous Continental staff offer unrivalled service. Residential licence with intimate Cocktail Bar. Dancing 3 nights weekly with a cabaret on one of these nights.

There is a superb heated swimming pool in front of the hotel with huge lawns, children’s play hut and nine-hole putting green.

All bedrooms are fitted with shaving points, baby-listening and radio-tel. We also offer our own free mini bus service to and from St. Brelade's Bay twice daily.













For more on the Stafford Hotel, now sold and to be demolished for housing, see here for an old brochure from the hotel detailing its amenies and photographed.














Now a residential and care home (Lakeside)


























All part of the "Repose Hotels" group. The company was dissolved 1 October 2004. Most of the hotels have been converted to residential use - e.g. the Lido Bay is now Lido Bay Court.













The Highfield is situated in more than one acre of ground in the quiet countryside near the north coast of Jersey, within walking distance of Bouley Bay and Bonne Nuit Bay. The grounds behind the Hotel containing our unique bridged swimming pool are tastefully laid out with mature rockeries and flower plots to continually delight the eye of the visitor.

Many rooms in the Hotel command panoramic views and all are equipped with razor points, intercom and baby-listening service. Some bathrooms en suite are available. The Hotel also features a games room, television lounge and attractive cocktail bar. Separate tables are provided in the dining room.

What now?

The Highfield Country Hotel is a fairly prominent structure, now empty, adjacent to the Ebenezer Chapel on La Route d’Ebenezer. The staff house, the subject of this application, is located at the back of the hotel, on the boundary with the chapel and is visible from the main road. Planning permission was granted in June 2007 for the conversion of the hotel into 41 flats (P/2007/0647).
